FEELING
THEIR WAY
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “That all nations might seek the
deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed in finding him.” (Acts 17).
Reflection. Paul is in Athens with its long
tradition of learning and he respects their research by pushing on its
boundaries to include their search for God. They are with him for a while but
baulk at mention of the resurrection of Jesus. They could only go with him so
far. Many today are not satisfied with traditional Church teaching. They are
searching. We all are. And now the search is for the risen Lord, for an
experience of what it is to say with Thomas, “My God.” It goes beyond words and
teachings and nothing less will satisfy our hungry hearts.
Prayer. Lord, help us to know you and
love you deep in our hearts. Amen.
